On my wife, Anna's, laptop I have the hard drive partioned, with the last
partition used just for temporary files & Virtual Memory. Anna uses some
massive files (pictures - and a genealogy file size not much smaller than
the Old Testament) and gets the error
'... insufficient resources...', at which point everything stops responding.
I guessed the 'resources' it lacked referred to memory (system RAM is 1GB) -
but it is just a guess! - and tried to increase the Virtual Memory from 3GB
to lots. But the dialogue box says that 4GB is the maximum.
So - would you put another VM folder on another partition (making 2 x 4GB),
and do you think this would help? Are the 'resources' it lacks really
memory, or am I particularly dull? Failing that, would another 1GB of RAM
cure this - not my preferred option at all since laptop memory is very
expensive, and Anna's Dell Latitude will only accept 2GB maximum, so if it
isn't enough... oh, dear!
Any guidance & encouragement is much appreciated,
Cheers,
Chris
